What is Arm Lift Surgery?
Arm lift surgery is a surgical procedure performed to achieve a firmer and more aesthetic appearance by correcting sagging or drooping arms. In this procedure, excess skin and adipose tissue are removed to give the arms a more taut and youthful appearance. Arm lift surgery is usually performed through incisions made in the armpit or inner arm.
How is Arm Lift Surgery Performed?
Arm lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, but in some cases local anesthesia or sedation may be used. The surgeon removes skin and fatty tissue from the lower part of the arms to tighten the arms. If necessary, liposuction can be performed simultaneously.
Arm lift surgery has many benefits. Firstly, it provides a more aesthetic appearance by correcting sagging or drooping arms. Tighter and tighter arms make the person look younger and fitter. Arm lift surgery also allows the arms to wear clothes that are restricted due to sagging more comfortably.
What is the Recovery Process After Arm Lift Surgery?
The healing process after arm lift surgery can usually take a few weeks. There may be swelling, bruising and mild discomfort in the postoperative period. Your surgeon will give you postoperative care instructions. During the healing process, it is important to use the recommended tight sleeves or bandages regularly and to move as recommended by your doctor.
Arm lift surgery provides permanent results, but the results may lose their effect over time as the aging process will continue. Regular exercise, a healthy diet and maintaining body weight support long-lasting results after surgery.
